   Undivided suggests, to me, undivided.   
   Not divided. Not two. Unified.   
      
   Loyalty is another layer.   
      
   Not being able to read the original Chinese,   
   and not knowing the passage in question,   
   I have no idea what loyalty is referring to.   
      
   Loyalty can suggest being loyal to an other.   
      
   However, if one's faith is whole, one's eye single,   
   and one is loyal to that faith, then perhaps it fits.   
      
   Being loyal to the Uncarved Block. Tao.   
      
   As was Cook Ting.   
   Hence, his knife stayed sharp.
